Historically Colorado jasper was used exstensively by the native american indians as knapping material.
Found in a wide variety of colors around the state. Recent finds from Park county Colorado Nice piece with vibrant color! Red and yellow pieces. -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

Any chance you'd tell me off forum where you collected all that? A couple buckets would probably be worth it to me to drive up from Albuquerque. Does it need heat treatment at all for knapping? Thanks, Phil |
